Thank you to all our sponsors of the 2009 Big Climb. Your contributions will make a definite difference in the lives of those living with blood cancer and those currently being diagnosed. Donations will be used for patient education about the disease and treatments, support programs of how to cope, financial assistance for those unable to pay for necessary treatments, and research into finding a cure for ALL blood cancers.

There were 6000 participants in the climb this year and at the time of the event at least a half million had been raised. A final tally will be totalled at the end of the month when the last contributions have been recieved.

Thanks again for your generous support and to the LLS to the LLS for putting together such a fine event!
